stevenash Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Either one will work. All they have to do is promise more free stuff than the opponent and they win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumRaiderFan Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Country's' not individually independent enough to elect a ticket like that...last two elections are proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullets13 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm telling you, moderate is the only chance the GOP has. Jindal would have a slightly better chance than Cruz because he hasn't drawn nearly as much attention to how conservative he is. I don't think a radical like Cruz has any chance at all.

tvc184 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Radical in what way? You know, radical. Stuff like following the law, people paying their own way, lowering taxes.... other horrible stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that in America that a constitutionalists like Ted Cruz would be deemed a radical. Trust me, if we were still a constitutional government we would not be in the mess we are in now. Again -- what is our debt? And how many are on welfare? Well, you get my point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumRaiderFan Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 You know, radical. Stuff like following the law, people paying their own way, lowering taxes.... other horrible stuff like that. Oh yeah...Gotcha. Radical in a conservative kind of way. The masses are much too enlightened to elect a guy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullets13 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'll try again...radical in what way? Radical, as in ultra-conservative? as in the "Radical Right". It's not an insult, just a statement of fact. Those farthest right and left are called radical, and he's so far right he's the face of a movement that formed because the GOP wasn't being radical enough.

bullets13 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 If my understanding is correct, Cruz isn't eligible to become president anyway. So it should not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those farthest right and left are called radical, and he's so far right he's the face of a movement that formed because the GOP wasn't being radical enough. The notion of following the Constitution to the letter, smaller gov so we can have lower taxes...these are radical ideas to many...no wonder we're in trouble. The Tea Party formed because the Republicans were big gov spenders, just like the Democrats and conservatives no longer had representation...the only thing they wanted out of the elected Republicans was to quit spending more money than the fed gov took in and cut wasteful spending and bloated agencies and programs. If that is radical (and it is to a progressive liberal) count me in as a radical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to assign somebody a label, such as " radical right" but it seems to be difficult to say what one says/does to qualify for that label. Would you consider the current President to be "radical left"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you consider the current President to be "radical left"? yes, i would. wouldn't you? radical right is assigned to politicians who are staunchly ultra-conservative. again, i'm not using the term "radical" as an insult.

I won't become more and more radical, the climate will become more and more "progressive" if anything. Progressive...what a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
